Thanks for the post, bearbear. We appreciate it.

Each of us personally has to come to grips with what forgiveness means in the case of Witness Lee. Really, I don't think about it much because to me it isn't personal. I never really knew the man. At the same time I've had to figure out how I feel about things and to make sure vengeance isn't my motive.

To me it's about a historic public figure whose legacy is doing damage to the church and God's people. The purpose of the board is to help people with separating themselves from his influence. It isn't about getting even with him or anything like that. At the same time, forgiveness is important. Holding a grudge is like drinking poison to try to kill the other person.
